Maybe MS is expecting to beat the PS3 this month... I haven't heard a "We are suppkly constained" BS line from MS yet...



Maybe...

There was no press release yesterday spouting this nonsense.  

Or maybe they've figured out that the only one's that they're fooling with this nonsense are themselves and starcraft.

 They said that in January, but in February they said April

Well, they did put out that vague press release today about European sales doubling. They also pre-empted March last month by saying stock will be back to normal in time for GTA IV. Anyway, I think it's too close to call in regards to 360 Vs PS3 this month.

US, April 17, 2008 - In March, Nintendo again defined industry momentum in both home and portable video games sales, according to the independent NPD Group, which monitors retail activity in the video game industry. More than 720,000 Wii systems sold in March, representing the highest monthly sales total outside of holiday months (November or December) to date, while Nintendo DS™ also sold through nearly 700,000 systems.

Nintendo also finished with the top-selling U.S. game of March. Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which launched March 9, came in at No. 1 with 2.7 million units sold.

"Nintendo systems represented 58 percent of all video game hardware sold in March in the United States," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "We expect our momentum to continue with big upcoming game launches like Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit."

Other March U.S. statistics, according to NPD, include:

Three Wii games finished in the top 10, including Super Smash Bros. Brawl at No. 1, Wii Play™ at No. 4, and Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock at No. 7. Nintendo DS has now sold more than 19 million units in the United States alone since it launched in November 2004.

Supply constraints for the 360 in January? Sure, I'll play along.

Constraints in February? That's pushing it.

Constraints in March? ROFLCOPTER.

Is that for real? The link is dead now, but that makes sense since the embargo isn't lifted yet.
